I have that completed, actually did that last fall before storing the boat.

Actually had my boat out on the water Friday to test, livewell's etc. & got a "HOW NOT TO LAUNCH/REPAIR" a Sea Doo show of epic proportions.

I left my phone in the truck, because I didn't think I to need it or be long on the water. 1.50 hours later, I was finally off the water.

First time I had ever seen a car pulled in forward with 1/2 the grill under water, and some one standing in the water with jumper cables hooked to the car attempting to jump a SeaDoo, WHILE standing in the water.

I about crap when the ends touched, started arc-ing, and came about an inch or so from the water.

Good news is every thing works, I am ready for some fishing finally when not so much spring, but the "Free Time" arrives.

Speedy Prep, and get ready.

Looks familiar Don,
Finally put my stereo and speakers in.
Changed the impeller on Friday (with help from OneidaEagle's son)

I spent yesterday evening out to the boat as well. Lower unit oil replaced, engine oil replaced. New fuel filter, oil filter, spark plugs. Greased the bearings...crap, forgot to grease the stearing linkage. Guess I'll do that when I reset the oil indicator.

Boat goes in tomorrow for sponsorship wrap and decals. Pre-fishing for the first tournament starts on Saturday.

You gotta wonder about people sometimes.

Wick,
Might see you down there, we might make a "Day Trip" for Saturday, just to try and get some to eat.

You get your stickers or did he "obscond" them like you did the T-Shirts?

If you do see me, I prefer "Cat Calls" or the "showing of some leg"!

[OneidaEagle]

I did indeed get the stickers.

The shirts however went to the Daughters. I don't think anyone wants to see me wearing what they would think is SPANDEX, due to the size ratio distribution aspect, of my chiseled physical attributes/Bicep's & Pectoral's to make all other jealous.......

Cat Calls it is, because my legs are one of those things in life that you just can not "Un-See".........

Found out yesterday my trolling motor battery wouldn't take a charge. Went today and bought a new deep cycle battery. I bought an Interstate, never had one of them. Also bought new spark plugs for the motor. Changed oil & filter, new oil in lower unit. Getting close to taking the shrink wrap off. Ice finally off one of our favorite Crappie lakes..

I did check them. I replaced them a few years back before one of my trips down south. They date stamp as 23/04. I didn't buy them in 04 obviously but I've noticed that if you don't specifically tell the tire dealer you won't accept tires that have been on the rack for years, you might find brand new ones with 8-10 yr old date stamps.
